Maria Full of Grace (2004) - a foreign film about a pregnant Colombian girl who becomes a mule for the drug cartel.
Added it! Seems pretty interesting0 -
Welcome to the Dollhouse is the most disturbingly accurate film about being a suburban child during the 1970s that I've ever seen.
But not actually set in the 70's... Love this movie
Alpha Dog
Basquiat
Girls Town
Run Lola Run
Harold and Maude
The Last Supper
A Life Less Ordinary0 -
The God Of Cookery (1996, Hong Kong) -- Good luck trying to find it.0

For the people talking about "Student Bodies", it's currently streaming via Amazon. If you have Prime like I do, it's free with that service. It's officially been added to my watch list!0

American Me, Blood In Blood Out, American History X, City of God, El Mariachi
The only ones I've seen was City of God and American History X, but I loved them so i added the rest!0 -

The Court Jester with Danny Kaye... Angela Lansbury was the young beautiful princess... I still laugh histarically everytime I see it... Unfortunately, it's hard to find and I only have an old VHS copy that is almost beyond ability to watch.0

The Red Shoes.Le Passion de Jean D'Arc (1928).0

Deliverance0

The Exterminating Angel
There is another movie called Exterminating Angels. It is the most awful movie ever made. Seriously, most awful EVER made. I only watch it for the lesbian scenes.0 -
Guilty Pleasure list:
The Wizard (1989) Christian Slater, Fred Savage, and Jenny Lewis before she switched to singing.
Oh The Wizard. Basically a coming-of-age commercial for Nintendo and Super Mario Bros 3. I was 9 when it came out and me and my younger siblings LOVED it!0 -
Oh and Lord's of Dogtown with Heath Ledger about the skateboard movement in California in the 70's. I literally grew up in it.
I second this one!
Beautiful Girls
Jack Goes Boating
A Big Year (a strange combo with Steve Martin, Owen Wilson and Jack Black, but it works!)0 -
The Dark Backward0
-
My favs- that no one I am around has seen or gets my references. ( I love throwing in movie quotes when the occasion calls for it)
Grosse Point Blank
So I Married an ax Murderer
Hudson Hawk
The only people that get my references are my hubby and now my 15 year old son.
I love those movies! Oh, if only I could make my family enjoy them as well.0 -
Student Bodies. It's an Allan Smithee film, that should be all I need to say...
It's not so bad it's good. It's so bad it's AMAZING! Totally self-referential parody movie that is damn near impossible to find.. so quotable, but no one but me and my little brother has ever seen it!
I've seen it! Can't quote it though. My husband and his friend love movies like this, and whenever his friend is visiting, they always watch movies. So, they made me watch this one. I actually did like it. Now, Troll 2 (which they also made me watch) is a movie that, to me, is so bad it is still just bad (although they think it is so bad it is good.)
My list would be:
A Mighty Wind
Let's go to Prison
In Bruges (I don't know if this is that obscure, but I know very few people who have heard of it)
I hesitate to add my very favorite cult classic because it isn't really obscure anymore, even though it is a cult classic, but that would be The Princess Bride.
Edited to add my favorite guilty pleasure movie- ****, with Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst.
Edit again, because MFP starred out the name of the movie! D!ck. Come on MFP, it's Richard Nixon!0 -
The Court Jester with Danny Kaye... Angela Lansbury was the young beautiful princess... I still laugh histarically everytime I see it... Unfortunately, it's hard to find and I only have an old VHS copy that is almost beyond ability to watch.
It was on Amazon Prime although I'd have to check to see if it's still there. Love that movie, although I can never recall the exact lines about the vessel with the pestle bit.0 -
My 2 favourite films at the 39 steps and the lady vanishes. Love them both0
-
Not obscure, but fav cult classics are A Clockwork Orange and Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!0
-
Saving Grace
The Van (1996)
The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain
Calendar Girls0 -
Sharknado. Best movie ever!0
-
(Edited to add the "Before" trilogy... how could I forget those???)
I didn't add the Before trilogy, because I don't consider them obscure, but they detail perhaps the most extraordinary film romance ever crafted. Well the first two I can say for certain as I've not seen Midnight yet.Sharknado. Best movie ever!
HAHA! We just watched that two weeks ago, my sister and me. Go Steve Sanders!0 -
The Girl with Dragon Tattoo swedish version
It's on my list, I'm going to watch all three of the Swedish ones before the English one!
Definitely do that. I loved the Swedish versions.0 -
Kikujiro
Bombon El Perro
Chopper
36 Quai des Orfèvres0 -
Oh there are so many to choose from! I guess 1 of my favorites that nobody ever knows when I mention it would have be the Cube, it's actually a trilogy though.
I've seen Cube but I never knew it was a trilogy, are the rest any good?0 -
"Nowhere" It's so weird I love it.
But I nearly hate it.
It was a Greg Araki film with a lot of 90's pop culture people in it.
I love the review lol, a love/hate relationship.
I've never heard of it and sadly cant' find it0 -
Here are three movies I liked that none of my friends have ever heard of.
Better Off Dead - 1985 - John Cusak - Very light hearted silly movie
Antwone Fisher - 2002 - Denzil Washington - Heart warming story of overcoming the odds
One From the heart - 1982 - Terri Garr, Raul Julia - Directed by Francis Ford Coppola - Great Soundtrack0
